RAPTOR (Real-time Adaptive Particle Therapy Of canceR) School: Loop Requirements

PDF Version

RAPTOR is a consortium that is working towards the clinical implementation of real-time adaptive particle therapy of cancer. In 2021, 15 fully-funded PhD positions were awarded through the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action innovative training network. These projects are hosted by beneficiaries all over Europe. The project leaders aim to improve the three main areas of the treatment adaptation process: imaging, intervention and verification.

The RAPTOR School: loop requirements was hosted by Cosylab in Ljubljana, Slovenia, between 4 September and 9 September, 2022. It was the second of a series of three annual RAPTOR training events. The training events were planned to follow the professional development of young researchers and to provide the participants with strong interdisciplinary skills, in-depth knowledge and an understanding of research questions. In addition to the technical and scientific classes, soft fundamental skills for entrepreneurship, intellectual property and certification management were addressed.

At the end of the week, we interviewed two PhD students about their experience of attending the school. The students were Maxin Chen, PhD student at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University, Munich, Germany and Arthur Galapon, an early-stage researcher with the RAPTOR project and PhD student at the University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
